Abstract: Isolated anti-IDE antibodies are provided. Each of the antibodies comprise an antigen recognition domain comprising the indicated CDR amino acid sequences. Methods of producing same, methods of using same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Abstract: A method of treating Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent which prevents the binding of amyloid precursor protein (APP) to Tau protein.

Abstract: Methods for treating and reducing risk of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) using nasal vaccination with a proteosome adjuvant.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for delivering visible or infrared biostimulatory energy to bone marrow to subjects having or developing Alzheimer's disease. The radiation is delivered to sites remote from the brain at a dose sufficient to cause stimulated mesenchymal stem cells to appear in the brain and degrade ?-amyloid. The energy may be coherent light and can be administered transcutaneously, subcutaneously, or via an intramedullary probe.

Abstract: An insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) inhibitor for use in the treatment of a disease selected from the group consisting of an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system and a neurodegenerative disease is disclosed.

Abstract: Use of an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence being no more than 25 amino acids in length, the amino acid sequence comprising at least one aspartate or a homolog thereof, the peptide having an Insulin-Degrading Enzyme (IDE) inhibitory activity, for the manufacture of a medicament identified for treating a disease selected from the group consisting of diabetes, obesity, hyperglycemia, retinal damage, renal failure, nerve damage, microvascular damage and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection is disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel hybrid compounds having a fullerene core residue, one or more bioavailability enhancing moieties and one or more glutamate receptor ligand residues, whereby the bioavailability enhancing moiety allow the compound to reach an effective concentration in physiological media and pass the blood-brain barrier, as defined in the specification. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing these hybrid compounds and uses thereof as antioxidants and/or neuroprotective agents for the treatment of medical conditions associated with oxidative stress and/or neural damage, such as, for example, neurological diseases, disorders and trauma, and hence in the treatment of CNS-associated diseases, disorders and trauma, as well as to uses thereof as antiviral, antibacterial, antiglycemic, antiarrhythmic, antidepressant and antitumor agents.

Abstract: A strategy for immunizing against amyloid plaques using display technology. The strategy includes methods, agents, and pharmaceutical compositions for vaccination against plaque forming diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease) that rely upon presentation of an antigen or epitope on a display vehicle. The strategy further includes methods, agents, and pharmaceutical compositions for vaccination against plaque forming diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease) that rely upon presentation of an antibody, or an active portion thereof, on a display vehicle. Whether antigens or antibodies are employed, desegregation of plaques results from the immunization.

Abstract: Compositions useful for treating neurological disorders including neurodegenerative disorders associated with deleterious protein aggregation, aberrant protein folding, such as brain amylogenic diseases, and/or neurodegenerative autoimmune disorders are described. Methods of using said compositions also are described. In particular, methods to treat a neurodegenerative disorder such as Alzheimer's disease and a neurodegenerative autoimmune disorder such as Multiple Sclerosis are contemplated utilizing proteosomes and/or Glatiramer Acetate, wherein the GA is in a submicron emulsion or a nanoemulsion.

Abstract: A method of immunizing against plaque forming diseases using display technology is provided. The method utilize novel agents, or pharmaceutical compositions for vaccination against plaque forming diseases which rely upon presentation of an antigen or epitope on a display vehicle. The method further includes agents, or pharmaceutical compositions for vaccination against plaque forming diseases, which rely upon presentation of an antibody, or an active portion thereof, on a display vehicle. Whether antigens or antibodies are employed, disaggregation of plaques results from the immunization.
